1) Killing your own civilians is an interesting retaliation move against a foreign power.

2) In my family, the death of Qasem Soleimani was, and I don't mean to be insensitive, the death of a imperialist tyrant supporter.

Iran does not deserve the sympathy you give them.

The gov comes down hard on people saying they don't like him, so the answers people give are biased. How biased, I don't know. I can tell you that even people who liked him still got outraged at the plane shooting.

Iran’s government and their supporters don’t, yeah. The people with no stake in this fight, the Iranian civilians though?
